Style Guide: How to Style Soft Shorts

Hello…? Is this thing on? Summer obviously got the best of me and the blog has been a little neglected the past month, but school is back in session and I hope to be dropping in here a little more regularly.

If you follow me on Instagram stories, you’ve probably heard me rave about these J. Crew shorts. Shorts are always a challenge for me thanks to my “athletic” thighs and I’ve found that a “soft short” style tends to work best for my body type. I tried on this style back in the spring and waited very patiently for them to go on sale, as all things at J. Crew do and it was worth the wait. I currently have 3 colors in my collection and a few more in my cart. 🙂

I love them so much that I decided to put together a few styling ideas for you! I shop my closet for these posts, so I’ll link exact or similar items for you at the bottom of the post.

Sizing: I sized down to an XS. If you are between sizes, I would definitely suggest sizing down.

Fancy Blouse

Date night, girls night out, Target alone. This look has you covered.

School Drop off

Cool mornings call for a cardi as we head into fall. Ditch it for afternoon pickup. I got this shirt during the Nordstrom sale but it’s still in stock and will be great for layering this fall!

Getting Graphic

You guys know I love a good graphic tee. You could go without it, but a denim jacket is a great staple to have in your wardrobe as we head into fall.

Hi! I’m Kim!

I'm a mom, military spouse, and small shop owner. I like to start the day with a hot cup of coffee and end it with a cold glass of prosecco. Always trying to fit it in family time, sewing, barre, and shopping in between.
